A Dallas man is in jail, accused of possessing anabolic steroids and falsely making, forging and counterfeiting the seals of various U.S. agencies, according to an affidavit.

Nicholas Freed, 39, was arrested after a task force officer with the Department of Homeland Security conducted a surveillance operation and discovered Freed was collecting packages containing the drugs from the Deep Ellum Postal Center, according to an affidavit.

One of the packages was opened by Customs and Border Protection and was found to contain steroids, according to an affidavit.. The package was addressed to JPEG PRESS out of Dallas. No information was found for that business but it was associated with the 24/7 Deep Ellum Postal Center. The officer continued to monitor the postal center for several days.

The officer received a call on Jan. 28 from the owner of the postal center stating that an unknown white man was there to pick up one of the packages for his friend "Chris." The officer approached the man, who was wearing khaki tactical pants, black boots and a dark-colored shirt, identified himself and said he'd like to talk about the package the man was picking up, according to an affidavit.

The man, Nicholas Freed, became uneasy when the officer said the package contained something illegal and started making small movements. The officer grabbed his hands when Freed began to reach for his waistband area. The officer discovered a United States Marshals badge, but confirmed Freed was not a marshal and was just using the badge "as a joke," the affidavit states.

In his wallet, which he was trying to hide, there were several forms of ID including another identifying him as a Chief Inspector in the United States Marshals. He also had a credit card knife, handcuff key and several Texas licenses with his photograph and two with the name Christopher Ray Izquierdo. Freed said "Chris" gave him the licenses so he could pick up the packages. He said he has done this 10-15 times before -- not for money -- but because he was in the area and had a box at the location, according to the affidavit.

Freed's Ford Expedition was outfitted like a police car and his residence contained several computers, laminating materials, pages of magnetic strips, hologram material of official federal and government seals and other materials to make counterfeit identifications including some for school and military ID's, according to an affidavit.
